Hamilton, 63, now faces charges of burglary (trộm) and theft, following the incident last Wednesday afternoon.

The homeowner, upon finding the intruder (người xâm nhập, khách không mời mà đến), went outside and locked herself inside her car while she called authorities.

Deputies also determined that Hamilton entered through the homeowner’s front door, took a T-shirt belonging to the victim’s son and ate leftover food from the refrigerator before opening the can of pineapple.

It doesn’t appear the homeowner and Hamilton knew one another. However, deputies learned Hamilton lives about a half-mile from the victim.
